  • Big disagree.

    1. It is unlawful for a gift card to expire in the US. (Ask Simon Malls how badly they got fucked for this.)

    2. There are tons of expensive restaurants my partner and I are simply not going to go to unless we’re able to knock $100 of the bill.

    3. Retired people are on a budget. Gift cards help them with that.

    4. Often times people have niche hobbies wherein buying a present might have good intentions. but it’ll be in vain. I’m a beer snob. Do not get me beer as a gift, ever. Gladly take a gift card to a good brewery. I’m a musician – don’t buy me gear. I work and tinker with networking. Don’t buy me hardware. Give me gift cards.

    They are low effort and high reward. They are excellent gifts, both to give and receive.



  • Most solo devs don’t do everything. They download packages of meshes (3d objects) to… Not reinvent the wheel.

    You can, in most game dev studios, develop game logic, maps, textures, meshes, characters etc.

    People can buy them, use them, modify them, etc.

    That’s not to say none do. Just… The same ones don’t.

    Then there’s the issue of like… Youre building in Unreal, and you want a portal that when you enter, you shrink my 10%. Okay that’s… That’s not in the engine. So. Yeah. The wheel you’re reinventing here is pretty big.

    Idk if this fully elucidates. I’m in mobile and at work, hope this makes sense.
